#Space 🌌 is undergoing a revolution* comparable with the growth of the #internet 🌐 20 years ago, and like the internet, this will affect all domains of life.

Our society is now utterly dependent on the #satellites πŸ›°οΈ that orbit #Earth. The #communications πŸ“Ά and #navigation 🧭 services that they make possible are so interwoven in our everyday lives that in the #UK πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§, #space is classed as one of 13 critical national #infrastructure sectors. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/26/europe-moon-space-race-esa-india-russia-china-japan
